Does it have an option to filter both ways? Do not show NSFW vs. show only NSFW? The latter would probably be use a lot more.

Doubt it, there is no pressing need to exclude non-nsfw but parental control and porn addiction help have significant demand as well as people who fear getting accidentally in trouble at work.

I don't get why these filters are needed. I was relatively early to the internet compared to most people (I'm 33 but I grew up on the internet since around the age of 7) yet I grew up perfectly fine without needing to be blocked from adult content. A kid seeing a sex scene in something they stumble upon is not going to scar them for life... Additionally I was never forced to use a piece of school equipment that had f…

“I don’t need it so no one needs it” is the summary of your post. Not a very constructive statement, and you’re not asking a question either, because if you actually wanted to know you would’ve looked it up, or if you’re so in tune with the needs of others, you’d already know. So what sort of conversation are you aiming to have?

I'm saying all children don't need it. Unless you can come up with a specific reason that would make it so one would.

It's called consent. For a minor, their parent or guardian must consent to show them adult or other traumatizing content. Despite your personal experience, parents and guardians ultimately have the right,authority and responsibility to do their best to ensure the well being of a minor under their care which could mean no porn or even no meat in their diet. You don't have to agree.

> Much worse than adult content is addictive content that forms obsessive behaviors...

There is literally nothing more addicting than porn. Not only that but the long term social and behavioral issues that result from porm addiction are far more harmful than for example cocaine or lsd (which isn't addictive).

But let's say porn is not harmful or addictive, showing porn to people against their consent is a form of sexual abuse much like exposing yourself in public is (despite nudity laws). It boils down to the fact that biologically speaking naked people arouse a sexual reaction and sexual interactions of any kind must be between consenting parties. Period.

This isn't about policing morality but consent and it is a shame that it is neccesary to begin with.

Then don’t get the addon? You’re not really saying anything interesting or constructive. I’m not sure why people wanting something you don’t would throw your world into a state of chaos.

I…I…I… Shame on people who would even fathom forbidding access to certain content on the devices that they likely pay for, internet that they pay for, homes that they pay for, and to children who they raise. Shame.

The gall people have to make their own choices… and they won’t even affect me? Appalling.

Dollars to donuts, I bet porn has a lot more demand than porn addiction help.

Have you never been to a nudist beach?

> not [...] morality but consent

"morality" is not distinct from consent: it's more that your/my/our position on sexual morality is grounded in individual consent. "morality" as a word is not shorthand for (Western) Christian or Victorian traditional attitudes and prejudices.

people really loose sight of “normal habits” when talking about sex. there’s this intense religious shame, so the folks with the most fucked up libidos assume everyone must be like them. i see posts like this as a confession, much less an anecdote
